I mean, I’m Tanis, it’s rare but I like it.

Rawdogging the internet with your real name is bold.

[–] tanisnikana@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago (3 children)

First and last. I’ve just never bothered to come up with a real username in twenty years.

If you show up at my doorstep I’ll make you tea and we can play a board game.

Well, looks like we're both in the same city. I've met a Tanis here before. Wonder if it's you

Same with me (only a couple years less since I think my earliest account is from 2008). Was just playing Peak with some people and they said I doxxed myself with my username. Told them anyone that wants to find me is gonna have to dig cause it's a super common first and last name. There's even a hockey player with the name (legit got asked several times in the late 2000s/early 2010s if I was a hockey fan since I had the username).

And I’m the only Tanis Nikana in the world.

Bravery? No. Laziness. And consistency.

I’m mostly operating under the assumption that people are too busy with their own lives to go stalk a married middle-aged lady.

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

I use to think so! Turns out sometimes it's not true!

[–] Zedd00@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago

Meh, it's not that bad. I don't have my last name but it's trivial to determine it, there are like 6 Zedds in the US.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You are named after an Egyptian/Greek city?

[–] tanisnikana@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Nah, just an Irish first name.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Does that come from the word tanist then? As in named successor?

[–] tanisnikana@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

You got it! Plus it was really easy to render into kana.
